Your game 1 prediction is looking good.

Hope the same for game 2
Always hopeful; rarely optimistic. @GAD

The ball seems to be carrying well. Hope Rocker is ready from the first pitch.

3 Stanford errors on a fast field. NC State looks like a team capable of beating the #1 seed after getting shellacked in game 1. We will have to continue to improve.

NC State is definitely the second best team in our bracket. They just flew under the radar for so long because they were so pathetic the first third of their season.

I never thought they could beat the hogs. But Stanford and AZ are no hogs.

I don't know. AZ has impressed the heck out of me so far with their bats. I'm nervous. We'll see. Rocker is usually "on" when it matters most. But I'm still nervous. The nervous nellie in me says Zona is gonna score 3-4 runs in the first 2 innings.

Well, thank goodness I got the "7" part correct for the Dores. ;)

Tomorrow, I think both games are pretty much tossups...

Tenn over Virginia. UVa has done great this tournament when their backs were against the wall. Their backs are not against the wall yet.

Miss State over TX. This is not a 51-49. It is literally 50-50. It could go either way. But I think Miss State's top 3 hitters (Rowdey Jordan, Tanner Allen etal) will have big games.

Hope you are right. Hope MSU wins and tennessee wins (oh God, did I really say that?) And then MSU puts them out.
Ass an aside, if we don't win it all, I would like MSU to. They have never won a natty in men's sports. Won a women's title this year for the first time.

Once the game started and I saw all the puke orange in the stands, I simply couldn't pull for theViles.

Mississippi State isn't that impressive to me. Anyone who loses 2 of 3 on their home field to Mizzou isn't that good to me.

Actually, Ole Miss women won the golf championship. I hope UVA wins today…Ms State wins tonite and the Big UT puts the little utEast out of the tourney on Tuesday!

Looks like my wishes are on track until Tuesday! Of course I think we will handle NCState….I’m hoping Stanford puts Az out.

I'm right there with you Ndorefin!!! The only reason I would want UT to win would be the extra publicity the series would receive when we kick their tails to the curb.

I'm sweating NC State more than I was AZ. But the AZ offense could hit our secondary pitchers around a bit a second time around.

I believe State and Az are fairly equal on offense, but I think Az’s pitching is better. Of course, we make average pitchers look like Cy Young winners, at times!
